Online hotel reservations & Google Map

If traveling east on the Long Island Expressway, exit at Exit 56. Entry is on the right. If traveling west, exit at Exit 56, turn left under the Expressway and continue to Central Ave. (first right turn). You’ll see the hotel up the hill on the right.

If you fly into Islip, there is a shuttle to the hotel.

Friday evening dining is on your own. There are several restaurants in the area and literature re them will be available when you register for the reunion and pick up your name tag. Later that evening, we will get together in one of the meeting rooms to visit and have light refreshments.

Saturday should be an interesting day. We will board our bus at 9 a.m. and travel to Sagamore Hill, the home of Pres. Theodore Roosevelt, in Oyster Bay. Arrangements have been made for a guided tour at 10 a.m. The tour is about an hour, so there will be time to look in the gift shop before the bus leaves at 11:30.

From Sagamore Hill, we will travel to the Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport. This museum was the home of William K. Vanderbilt II. You may have seen it. In 1988, the estate, known as Eagle’s Nest, served as a fictitious drug lord’s mansion for the filming of Crocodile Dundee II.

Before our guided tour we will enjoy box lunches in their picnic area. At approximately 3 p.m. we will head back to our hotel.

That evening we will have dinner at LaStrada’s, a local restaurant well known for good cuisine and good service. Dinner will be at 6:30 and shuttle service will be provided from the hotel for those who wish it.

Sunday morning at 9:30 we will have our group photo followed by the general business meeting and adjournment until next year.
